Filipino Bolos
Hi all, I'm new on this forum. I read a post here about old bolos from the Philippines. While in the Philippines I was exposed to more Bolos than one human should ever see! Just wanted to share them with you all here as it seems there is a fondness for big choppers here, hope you enjoy them!

I just picked these up out here in the Philippines (where I still am). I contributed photos of their country for their gallery section and I got these from them. Finally, a site that offers them shipped to the rest of the world.

These are the ones I own. The handles are interesting and come in plastic, rattan wrapped, and carabao horn. Interesting convex grind and sort of a chisel grind where it is flatter on one side. Last year when I reviewed Filipino Bolos for Tactical Knives magazine I noticed the Vasayan Bolos had this chisel grind too.
